Simply unlocking Anthem Masterwork weapons and equipment isn’t enough if you hope to compete at the higher Grandmaster difficulties. While the Masterwork guns are significantly more powerful than the Epic variants, their randomized stat boosts and effects can sometimes be disappointingly weak, or don’t synergize well with a set build. In a perfect world, players would be able to change Masterwork stats, rerolling the weapons again and again in order to get the optimal loadout. Well, there’s good news, as this Anthem Masterwork reroll guide is here to confirm that, yes, you can try your luck at getting better weapon stats. Here’s what you need to know about rerolling Masterwork weapons in Anthem, including an explanation of how to unlock Masterwork Blueprints by completing Challenges.
Anthem Masterwork Reroll | How to change Masterwork stats
Unfortunately, the only way to reroll the stats of a weapon that you’re not happy with, is to use it. Each Masterwork unlock has a Challenge that needs to be completed. This Challenge is the key to unlocking the ability to reroll stats on the weapon, as it grants a Masterwork Blueprint for that specific piece of equipment. So, you may hate the roll you got, but you’re going to have to embrace it, at least temporarily. Then you can chuck it away and attempt to get a better roll.
We’d highly recommend you keep any and all Masterwork weapons you acquire, until Vault space becomes an issue. Some weapons can become more useful when you swap Javelins, or attempt to play solo.
Anthem Masterwork Reroll | How to unlock Masterwork Blueprints
To unlock Masterwork Blueprints in Anthem, you’ll need to first earn a Masterwork loot drop. Once this occurs, you’ll then have to use the loot that drops and complete its Masterwork Challenge. Once that is done, you’ll be gifted the Masterwork Blueprint. Use this to create more of the same equipment, attempting to get the perfect roll.
Anthem Masterwork Reroll | How to view Masterwork Challenges
To view Masterwork Challenges, you’ll need to head into the Challenges menu, down to the piece of Equipment you want to look at, then choose the specific Class, and then look for the Challenge that rewards the Masterwork (orange) Blueprint.
You can track Masterwork Challenges to allow you to quickly see how much progress you’ve made.

Everything You Need to Know About Anthem's Javelins
So, you're diving into Anthem? Not sure which of the mech suits to climb into first? We've taken them all for a test flight, cooled off under the waterfall, and returned with the lowdown on all four. Here's everything you need to know about Anthem's Javelins. -
Ranger
No matter your preference, you'll be starting your Anthem run in a Ranger. Described as the all around jack of all trades, the Ranger can slot into any situation and round out any team. Rangers can dash across short distances and strike foes with a devastating Shock Mace. -
Lock and Load
As for gear, a Ranger can pack grenades or cannon blasts. These range from elemental bombs to heat-seeking missiles. Rangers can support their team with a bubble shield that protects from foes or enhances damage. Finally, the Ranger's ultimate is a volley of missiles that can hit dozens of enemies at once. -
Colossus
For a mech game, Anthem sure does have some agile suits. If you want a more traditional giant robot experience, may we suggest the Colossus? The biggest of the four Javelins, the Colossus is a tank that blasts into battle with a mounted flamethrower and several ordinances. -
Prepare for Titanfall
The Colossus is all about busting things up. Whether that's with various mortars, a literal firewall or a burst of lightning, you'll be charging through foes and making a lot of noise. There's also a Railgun and a Flak Cannon to strap on if you want to get even more up close and personal. -
Interceptor
You want fast? Pick the Interceptor. With an innate triple jump and three dashes, you'll be moving all around the battlefield as you pepper opponents with shots. Mark enemies with your Target Beacon to single them out and boost damage across your team. Or, just focus in yourself with this mech's range of different systems. -
The Need for Speed
Interceptor players shine in the melee arena. Among their options are an electrifying dash attack, several different elemental ninja stars, and poisonous options for decaying large groups of foes. You can also do the Naruto thing and create duplicates to confuse your opponents before hitting your final strike. -
Storm
Of all the Javelins in Anthem, the Storm is the most unique. It's not every day that your robot suit is slinging magic spells like some kind of wizard from the moon. Storms can hover in mid-air away from danger and pepper the field with damage. -
Bringing the Thunder
You've got everything you'd expect from an elemental warrior. Ice beams, lightning bolts, frost shards, and fireballs, all at your fingertips. When you charge your ultimate, you can combine all the elements into a torrent of energy that can wipe out a whole squadron. -
What's Next for Javelins?
Storm, Colossus, Ranger, and Interceptor. These are the four Javelins that Freelancers can pilot in their Anthem adventures. Will we see more variety in future Javelin designs? New abilities for existing warriors? New chances for combo attacks? Only time and BioWare's roadmap can say for sure.
